Thank you [emoji4]

Thank you, it's so lovely to hear of people getting great results from doing it through diet. I'm doing it as well but my cholesterol has gone up. I don't eat bad fats but at that time I was eating a lot of 90% dark chocolate which I now realise is a lot of fat so I think that may have started...

Wow well done you! That's brilliant [emoji4]. Do you have any posts on how you did it and what diet you do?

Hi, Fasting was 7.5 this morning For breakfast I had 30g of porridge with skimmed milk and 40g blueberries and a benecol drink 2 hours after I was 5.9 Does this mean my body has used insulin effectively? I know porridge isn't low carb but it releases slower.

I agree not to burden the NHS unnecessarily especially when they are in need of funding and are struggling so much at the moment. I was just thinking those that are diet only would have been able to get free prescriptions just for the tabs to help them be able to monitor themselves therefore not...

Thanks that's interesting. So if you are doing diet only you have to pay for the prescriptions and tabs unless you say you'll take the medication for the free prescriptions..

Hi, If you are diagnosed as type 2 diabetic do you get free prescriptions?

Thank you. At what point would you be able to lower your dose of Metformin?

Hi, If you are on the highest dose of Metformin how do you know how many carbs to eat to manage your sugar levels? A friend of mine wants to diet but is worried about having a hypo because of the medication, doctors haven't been clear. Thank you.

I read this advertisement the other day. It sounds like a scam, surely to sell something as good as that is supposed to be it wouldn't need such a ridiculously long story to sell it.

No I didn't test until 2 hours, I will tomorrow thanks. I really want to be able to control my diabetes through diet only and I need to get my cholesterol down as well.

Thank you for the explanation, today fasting was 7.1 and I had porridge with blueberries for breakfast, 2 hours after I was 9.2, do you think this was because I had blueberries?

Thank you. I'm happy that I was 6.3 after eating. Today my fasting was 7.2 and 2 hours after it was 9.1.. I had porridge again but with blueberries

6.9 this morning and went down to 6.3 after porridge and a pear. I don't take any medication and am a bit confused

Hi, I've been testing my BG levels before and after eating. My fasting was 6.9 Breakfast porridge with a pear 2 hours after it was 6.4 Before lunch I was 6.7 Lunch tin of tuna, 1 tomato and mushrooms 2 hours after I was 7.2 How does this work as porridge and a pear is carbs and the lunch was...
